Not a morning person.

I'm back in New York, after a variety of adventures in San Francisco/San Jose. More musings on some of those later.

But right now, I'm in my office, and although my watch says nine am my body is insisting it's still six am. Bleh.

Walking in to find out that a project about which I was originally extremely excited has catastrophically failed in the marketplace, in a way which is actually technically related, to the point that I probably need to pull it back off of my resume, was not really all that nice.

So you were involved with Olesco and the 'involuntary anal leakage' it caused?

Anal leakage

Nah, I wasn't directly involved with Olestra, though I was actually at Pepsi (doing beverage work)at the time they introduced the WOW! chips line. I eat them every once in a while and never personally had a bit of trouble. Then again, I've got a workhorse of a digestive tract.

I temp at P&GP presently, and they sell only the WOW! versions of chips there... They lost billions on the deal, I believe. They make up a tiny bit of money by pimping their workers.

You only have anal leakage if you eat several bags in a day's time, I understand. That's still been enough to doom the market to "meager returns".
